How can you make an object follow a path?

[jotoonkid]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

You go to the layer tools, and find the one with the layer, with a 4 way arrow. Its called Translate Layer. You can also select it by pressing 1 on your keyboard.

Now, when you move the object, you can see the path it has taken. Remember though, you are moving the whole layer when you are doing this, so anything you don't want to follow the path needs to be on another layer.

One more Q

How do you make rounded edged lines with the add points tool?

[jotoonkid]

The default is rounded edges. If you are getting any other, then it probably means you are double clicking, and making two points in the same place. Use the translate points tool to check this isn't the case.

If you indeed only have one point at each bit, then it means they are sharpened. You can fix this with the curvature tool, to make the line less or more rounded.

What tool do i use to move the points? xD I've been trying to figure it out forever!

[jotoonkid]

Translate points. Or "T" for shortcut.

Didnt work.

The line is not enclosed/welded or watever the word is its just a 2 point line but i want the tips to be caps instead of squares.

[Mylenthes]
